In our new article, we explore the implementation of person-centered language mandates in prison. We find that the new language is rarely adopted, and argue that these labels may be more placating than transformative. Check it out at the link below! https://t.co/sq0vLlYHP2

@AJMadrigal_ Absolutely egregious. I'm sorry...

[Andrew Madrigal, Ph.D. @AJMadrigal_]

I’ll just say that this is my most important piece to date.
I’m hopeful that something positive will come out of this article.

@Bryce__McCune @KING5Seattle Why is it all vanishing?? :(

[Ben Mackey @BenJMackey]

@AJMadrigal_ Helps to be surrounded by so much positive energy! 🙌

[Ben Mackey @BenJMackey]

Extra excited to share this one in @Pun_Soc.
In a new ethnography, I explore influence & resistance at a nonprofit reentry organization, where the goals of the penal voluntary sector mix with those of state agencies to produce a hybrid form of punishment. https://t.co/ferZHmqELF

@KaitlynQuinn90 @Pun_Soc Thanks so much! Your work was incredibly helpful in making sense of my findings.

[Ben Mackey @BenJMackey]

A huge shoutout to my amazing thesis committee (@daniellerudes, Mona Lynch, @RNorris_PhD, & Yasemin Irvin-Erickson) for supporting this project when it was just a glint in starry eyes of an eager first-year grad student.

[Ben Mackey @BenJMackey]

@RNorris_PhD @Strava That's awesome!! That last little bit is my favorite part...so peaceful. But good strategy to leave the end unexplored so you have an excuse to take another ride out 😀

[Ben Mackey @BenJMackey]

@RNorris_PhD @Strava Fair enough...as long as I can see pics I'm happy! The W&OD nostalgia will be real once I move 🥺

[Ben Mackey @BenJMackey]

@RNorris_PhD Now we just need to get you on @Strava so I can peep your routes! 👀

[Ben Mackey @BenJMackey]

@AJMadrigal_ You got this!!
